    [SOLVED] Problem with powering a GPU

    Final Report: Just got the PSU today, an MSI MAG A550BN. Plugged everything and checked everything, everything seems running fine, ran it through some intense loads, no BSODs. Finally could record game clips with high resolutions. Thanks for the suggestions! Cheers! Btw, kept the old PSU, not...

    [SOLVED] Problem with powering a GPU

    I understand, I got this habit of mine when I can't decide something, I do a coin toss.. But anyway, thank you for the advice, hopefully I didn't do any damage to any of the devices I own, I will report back when I have the PSU and reconfigured everything again. In the meantime, I've been using...

    [SOLVED] Problem with powering a GPU

    Recently bought an RX 580 2048SP (8GB) and I didn't check if my PSU have the right connector, and alas, I only have 2 free molex and 1 free SATA connectors. The GPU haven't arrived yet but I'm wondering how to approach this problem. System Specs: Processor: Intel i3-10100F PSU: 700w...
